Gosh that would quickly lead to things being swept under the carpet...

Can't like this but thank you for raising awareness- truly awful

I wrote about the importance of play for innovation on Linked In a while ago- I think its crucial and also why research culture is important (because you can't play if you're afraid, under threat etc etc)

This chart from @smfthinktank.bsky.social shows the problem. The most selective unis are hoovering up students to manage their finances, leaving others at risk of closure. The market needs managing.

She's looking forward to the Elly Griffiths no doubt

Thank you. Will save up my pennnies

I need one of these in my life

I agree, it can get you off the blank page and moving. Just don't rely on it and bring your own voice.

Having worked with Liz on the development of a proposal for programme of research, innovation and skills for the North of England I would agree that their skills and perspective would be useful for university Councils etc.

Maybe, I can't remember that but it would make sense

madness was doing the same things and expecting different results. The system is unsustainable and something has to change.

I can see both sides of this one. An applicant that reflects on the feedback and makes substantive changes as a result would have a new proposal and not a resubmission. One that tinkers round the edges but remains substantively the same will end up in the same place. Einstein said

This policy change (no resubmissions) was a long time ago now and so I suspect all records leading up to the change have been deleted in line with data retention/information security policies. What you are left with is corporate memory which lives with people not necessarily still employed by UKRI
